You're underestimating how expensive that goal is. Providing every adult with basic income so that they can pursue their dreams would bankrupt the country.
What I’m saying is the barrier to having “personal autonomy” in a society where providing the essentials of life has to a high degree already been automated, is too high.
We keep people working by making it had to survive otherwise (high rents that don’t represent the maintainence/construction costs etc).
